Funeral Services

E Taylor & Son Funeral Directors offer a full scale of charges to meet every need and circumstance. After an initial meeting has been held to discuss the services required (and before the arrangements are placed in hand), a written estimate is given for your approval. In cases of hardship a concessionary service is available upon request.

At E Taylor & Son Funeral Directors we offer a whole host of services for our clients so that we may offer a full and complete service when dealing with the painstaking loss of a loved one. We offer many types of memorials from Traditional Monumental Masonry, Garden Memorials, Ashes Into Glass including a range of Cremated Remains Caskets and Vases. We also offer a memorial refurbishment service.

E Taylor & Son Funeral Directors are a small independent family run business situated in the heart of Carterton, providing a service upheld by its ultimate care and attention throughout Carterton and surrounding areas. They take great pride in their reputation for providing a quality bespoke funeral service in a caring, respectful and truly dignified manner.

The Taylor family can be traced back to the 1700’s and originates from Kencott, just a few miles from Carterton. We were Master Carpenters who specialised in hurdle making. As the business began to grow Ernest Theodore Taylor moved to a larger site in Kencott where we became Funeral Directors and Builders. With our own team of highly skilled craftsmen, we renovated many of the old homes we see around us today.

In 1946, Albert Taylor moved the business to Corbett Road, Carterton which was larger still, as both the building and funeral directing grew with Carterton. In 1970, we moved to our present site, also in Corbett Road, where Brian Taylor built one of the first, purpose built, Funeral Homes in our area and we have been here ever since.

Set in half an acre of beautiful landscaped gardens, the building has grown and is now one of the most modern, professionally designed, Funeral Homes offering the highest standards of care to our clients, and a peaceful place to rest.
In late 2014, we added our own fleet of Funeral vehicles. These are all coach-built here in the UK to make us one of the few fully independent family funeral directors.

On to the present day, three generations of the Taylor family work in the business and together with our dedicated team, we offer the same high standard of professional service and care we have always been known for.
